I've been diagnosed hypothyroid for a year now. I stopped with the medications for sometime now since my doctor's prescription ran out of refill and I wasn't able to visit him for 2 months. I came back yesterday with my blood tests and poof! I'm on maintainance drugs now. Sucks right? (I am lazy patient) And that doesn't stop there. To add insult to serious injury, blood tests will still be conducted 4 times a year for monitoring. Not to mention (pardon my hatred) how the medtechs from Nuclear Med *murder* my veins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the $$$$$$ for more lab tests....................... :(
And what tortures me the most is the development of symptoms. WHAT UP WITH MEMORY LOSS AND WEIGHT GAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How should I go through med school? :|
But at least I get free check-ups from my doctor-professors. :)
How's that in exchange of pursuing medschool?
